Very cute top. Lovely fabric combination with the black. And I love Jalie patterns too, for all the reasons you mention. Did you use flash for the picture of the back?Sometimes this enhances see-through, while in reality it's not so bad (and wear a black bra perhaps)

Your dress looks lovely on. Great fabric and a good idea to lengthen it to a dress. How about a matching black band around the hem?

Cabinbaby, you look so cute in this dress! I love your idea of making a top into a dress and it's turned out really well. The fabric looks great!

I love your fabric choices - they go really well with the top design.

g mcgregor, Nah. These are old shoes that I got at Fred Meyers 3-4 years ago. They are cute though. I have worn the sole off of one of the edges. They get a lot of use. Everyone else - Thanks for the kind comments! I wore the dress to a wedding and got lots of compliments on it. :)
